Bill Watterson is either planning a comeback or dying of something. Hopefully the former. Sudden Unexpected Comix. Pooch Café  The sound of a dog mooching really does hit you like that. The first few times you hear it your heart breaks. After that you get mad because this furry little rear end in a top hat has figured out how to manipulate your emotions. Ballard Street  Speaking of manipulating emotions...

I have perfect resistance to this because my dog has diabetes and we have to manage her blood sugar. Also I kind of hope that Watterson makes a comeback but I have a horrible feeling he can't make another comic strip without people constantly comparing it to Calvin and Hobbes. e: Well I suppose that might be fair since it happens to everyone else who tries to make a new strip

So just what was the point of moving the Luann-iverse forward in time by having the whole gang graduate... only to have everyone that ever was still be featured prominently?

Juliet Jones  Isn't manning the grill, you know, up to the man? I thought this whole storyline was to teach this woman a valuable lesson on the importance of knowing her place. I guess once the woman has agreed she may no longer spend her own money you can throw her a bone like letting her touch a barbeque grill (as long as she doesn't actually *want* to touch the barbeque grill).

My theory on Charles Boyce is that he fast-talked his way into doing a cartoon about computers and tech stuff, relying on the syndicate's own lack of knowledge. Now that he's been doing the gig long enough he can never be dropped.

Well, not necessarily. It literally means someone who pays interest upon savings. But yeah, it figuratively was used in the old day for Jew. The reason being is becasue the Catholic church back in the day forbade ursury (much like Islam does today... or at least some branches of it). Jews not being Christian meant that naughty priests/princes could use them as a spiritual/legal loophole for investment. This is also, I beleive, why Jews were and are caricatured as being money obsessed - the rule of law basically meant that only jobmarket they could access that would not be instantly biased against them was based in investments/markets.
